JDN Environmental Management

J.D. Neuhaus is especially keen to play its part in providing lasting protection for the environment. Executive Management therefore focuses in both an economic and ecological sense on the requirements of an environmentally friendly company policy.

Environmental protection is a management task. Management stipulates that audits be held regularly to ensure that these requirements are being met and that continuous improvement measures are being implemented. All applicable environmental legislation and requirements, together with any provisions laid down by the authorities, must be complied with at all times.

It is a stated aim of JDN that all employees understand what is meant by environmental protection, are receptive to it and act accordingly in a responsible manner. Training courses on this subject are part and parcel of the working day for the entire team. The state-of-the-art technology employed by the company helps to continually improve our processes.

Profi 100 TI Application in a Gas Terminal

The inaugural lift for a Profi TI 100 tonne air operated hoist unit has been successfully accomplished at the St Fergus gas terminal located near Peterhead on the North East coast of Scotland.

The important operation of lifting a furnace from a dedicated lowloader unit within the live area of the St Fergus gas terminal was undertaken by Enermech Limited, a specialist lifting company who have headquarters in Aberdeen. The St Fergus terminal processes gas from over 20 North Sea fields and is responsible for transporting offshore gas to shore, receiving the the gas onshore, processing the gas to National Grid specification, delivering the gas to shippers and ensuring a balance between supply and demand.

The lift site within the terminal was in close proximity to gas pipes which carry up to 20% of the daily gas supplies required for the UK. Mobile cranes were not permitted in the live area, so a pre-manufactured lifting frame was supplied to support both the hoist and the load. After suitable positioning within the plant, the lift, transfer and positioning of the furnace was safely and successfully carried out, providing a cost effective solution to the task in hand.
